ATI is extending its line of workstation graphics accelerators today with the introduction of the high-end FireGL™ X2-256t. Based on ATI’s award-winning scalable workstation graphics architecture, this turbo-charged graphics board delivers the industry’s fastest 3D performance for products under $ 1000 (1). Featuring increased engine and memory speeds, plus a redesigned board with a performance-enhancing copper fan, the FireGL X2-256t delivers up to 25% more processing power than its predecessor. Four geometry engines and eight parallel rendering pipelines power the board which comes with 256MB of graphics memory and dual DVI-I connectors. The FireGL X2-256t has an MSRP of US $ 899 and will be available later this month through workstation OEMs, system integrators and value added resellers. The FireGL X2-256t joins the existing products in the FireGL family including the entry-level FireGL™ T2-128, the mid-range FireGL™ Z1-128, the FireGL™ X1-128 and the MOBILITY™ FireGL™ T2 processor for mobile workstations.
